What's Your Style?

I'm here with another challenge for you: I want to know what your scrapbooking style is! 

For this challenge, I created a layout using these photos of my oldest son.  He's growing like a weed, and I want to capture those moments when I can still see a hint of the little boy in him.  (Those moments are growing fewer and farther between!)


(Sorry about the picture quality on this layout ~ I was racing to get it done and the light wasn't that great when I snapped a picture of it.)  Anyway, for this page I used supplies primarily from our February kit and add-ons.  It really showcases my tendency to use fairly symmetrical designs and whimsical touches.  I aspire to use more white space on my pages, but every time I do I feel the need to fill it with something!  :)

So ... what's your style?  Distressed, traditional, shabby chic, whimsical?  Do you love bright colors or opt for lighter shades?  Do you use lots of embellishments or stick with clean, simple pages?  I want to see you create a project that demonstrates your "signature style"!

Here are the details for this month's challenges: You're playing for a $15 gift certificate to Burlap & Buttercups. You can take on just one challenge per month, or you can participate every week to increase your chances of winning our giveaway. (And remember: You have the entire month to participate in any of the challenges introduced within that calendar month.) Any supplies can be used. To participate, simply enter a comment in the "Comments" section of our Challenge post, including a link to your newly created project. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks for dropping in, everyone!  Have a wonderful weekend!

  8. Love your layout especially that banner! Thanks for inspiring me. Here is a layout that best shows my style of clean and simple and letting my photo take center stage. I also like to coordinate the colors of my layout with the colors in my photo.
